Lokalise Reviews & Product Details

It’s very easy to get started: you can add translations or localizations, view your target languages side by side, and make sure you’re capturing the right tone.

I’ve only had a customer concern once, and they replied so quickly.

Overall, I also love the vibe of this tool. Claire’s newsletter is great, and the occasional webinars I’ve attended were a big plus too :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was a bit disheartened a few months ago when we changed our plan because ours was being phased out. We ended up losing some features I didn’t expect to lose (such as the glossary) since we were downgrading. I would have really appreciated a heads-up so I could at least save it beforehand.

As someone who had never used localization software before, I was genuinely surprised by how intuitive Lokalise was from the start. Previously, all my workflows lived in spreadsheets, which quickly became messy and time-consuming to maintain.

Since switching to Lokalise, my entire process has become faster and far more organized. I rely heavily on the project dashboard, the key-based structure, and the search and filter tools. These make it easy to keep translations and UX copy structured and consistent. Sending strings to our translation team through tasks has been a major improvement. It is now a simple and streamlined step instead of a manual back and forth.

One unexpected benefit has been how much easier it is to maintain our UX copy through Lokalise. Lokalise’s clear interface and collaboration features mean nothing gets lost, repeated, or overwritten. It has also helped me catch inconsistencies in wording that I never would have spotted when everything lived in spreadsheets.

Overall, Lokalise has been a major quality of life upgrade. It has not only sped up my workflow. It has made the entire localization process feel cleaner, clearer, and much more scalable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not come across any major downsides so far. The only limitation I have noticed relates to the Intercom integration. Intercom supports multiple help centres, but Lokalise does not currently allow you to filter content by help centre. This can make it a bit confusing when trying to manage or locate specific articles. It is possible that this limitation comes from the Intercom API itself, but from a user perspective it still creates some friction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Lokalise to assist our copywriters with translating our app, and it helps in writing the best texts by allowing me to compare them with other languages. I like that Lokalise makes it easy to maintain an app with multiple languages. I'm pleased that there's a tool that serves this purpose. I also appreciate the good AI suggestions for my language, which I can rely on whenever I need to come up with a translation, as they provide help based on what we've previously written. Establishing a new branch of our app in Lokalise was straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Uploading screenshots is a hurdle. Copywriters need images to understand the context. But this feature has improved recently. The UI can be a bit tricky with tiny icons hiding crucial actions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Lokalise is that it really makes things easier. It goes quite fast and is simple to get the hang of. Even though the initial setup has its steps, I can easily switch from one environment to another with just a few clicks, whether it's for staging, pre-production, or production. I find it great to be able to correct translation keys live and see the updates happen quickly. It saves me a phenomenal amount of time, especially since I no longer need to do the translations manually. I am very satisfied with Lokalise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What could be improved is the handling with Figma. Sometimes, transferring the translation keys from Figma to Lokalise using the same nomenclature is not straightforward, and it requires extra effort from the design side to ensure they are properly accounted for. Additionally, when I am on the live website, I sometimes struggle to find the correct translation key, which takes up my time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Centralising language management in one place still saves us a huge amount of time and reduces manual overhead. Being able to track progress, spot issues, and push updates across platforms from a single workspace keeps everything moving, especially as projects become more complex. The AI translation features are a strong addition as well. I’m still getting to grips with the full range of capabilities, but the overall direction feels right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The original pain points from my last review are still present. Key conflict handling remains unclear. There’s still no way to flag when a source string has multiple translations for a specific language, which makes it harder to maintain UI consistency. Onboarding for advanced features like image recognition also still feels too thin.

The newer AI translation features highlight the same onboarding gap. It would be much more helpful to surface clashes after the initial scan, instead of leaving users to catch them manually. As a power user, I can tell the tools are there, but the guidance isn’t keeping pace with the growing feature set. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think their customer support is very good, especially now that we have the proper subscription. The feedback is quick, and we can get answers to a lot of questions pretty easily. They also have good documentation for each issue, which is a good feature. Other than that, the Figma plugin is fundamental to everything we do because all the designs live in Figma, and we can push the variables directly from Figma, create keys, and attach screenshots, which is essential to what we do. So, I would say those two features are what I like most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would say the UI and custom user experience in Lokalise is actually quite bad. I would expect more of the software in itself how you navigate the different pages, how you structure your content etc. There are certain features that you don't understand or that are hard to find. It's not very intuitive to navigate or find what you're looking for which just makes it a hassle when you're trying to learn or do new things in the software.You really gotta put some time into it and understand how that works. It's too bad, because Lokalise seems to have a lot of powerful features for automation and improving your workflow. but there are many features that you don't understand or find on your own. The same goes for the Lokalise plugin in Figma. It takes some time to figure out how it works, but once it's up and running it's very powerful and solid workflow. So I would say it's quite a steep learning curve, and the user experience doesn't feel very modern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Lokalise because the glossary and translation memory functions are great. The translation memory is particularly useful because it memorizes everything, allowing us to reuse translations, which helps with standardization. I also find the automation feature good for making the whole process more seamless. Additionally, I really appreciate the help center. The support team is really great, very fast, and efficient, and they always come up with a solution whenever I have questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would say sometimes there are AI translation memories that we don't need, which aren't great. There are older translation memories from our translators that cause inconsistencies because they were worked on by different people. Even with Lokalise AI, it sometimes uses the wrong inclusive language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how Lokalise is very intuitive and easy to use, making collaboration on the same project with multiple people seamless and without issues. The customer service is also great. I love that I don't have to download an app on my computer, which makes sharing links to our 10+ translators really easy since they just need access to the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the inability to merge segments when needed, which makes it less flexible. I'd appreciate the option to edit character limits at a specific language level to ensure proper fit. A task management dashboard that groups all projects would be helpful, instead of having a dashboard per project. Additionally, I'd prefer if it could clearly number strings for better organization.

I like that Lokalise is simple and intuitive to use. It's great that everyone across our team, including non-technical users, can use the product without much onboarding. This ease of use has enabled us to invite native-speaking colleagues to review our translations, which has improved the quality of our translations. I find the initial setup really straightforward, and the documentation is great. It's an easy-to-use and intuitive product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd say the way that the shared glossary works could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am obsessed with how quick the team is to respond to my millions of questions. Not only are they friendly and easy to communicate with, but they are patient and fun to chat with!

I use Lokalise almost every single day as I need to translate documentation for my customers. It's easy to use, and if there's something confusing, there is almost always a guide that I can use to help diagnose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't anything inherently that I dislike about the tool because I understand and recognize there are a myriad of industries and even more use cases for this tool.

Localization is important for so many organizations and I'm grateful that Lokalise can help make that process a little bit easier, even if there are still improvements to be made in the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
